The Moroccan documents will be certified (apostilled you call it) by a certified translator and you will submit both  copies of the original Arabic and English translations to NVC  / originals are taken to the interview

 

list of translators approved by immigration are available for many cities in Moroc are on the following site

they are but Moroc calls certified docments "apostile"  and the USC must have all the Moroccan documents translated by a certified translator / they can not do it themselves as other countries allow it to be done.  the US embassy in Casa only accepts certified translations from the list on the site i published

That's unusual. This is what Apostille from Morocco looks like

Is this what certified translation looks like in Morocco? Saying Apostille in title etc? I'm skeptical, but you must know better being from Morocco.

An apostille, according to the Hague convention, is a certificate that shows that the person certifying the document is who they claim to be. It basically certifies that the certifying person is certified. It makes no claims on the document itself.

USCIS does not require those.

 

The word is also known to be used in various languages and countries to mean notarized and or certified. 

 

I would advise the OP to go with JeanneAdill suggestions as they have dealt with the Moroccan embassy.

And that is not what is needed/ we did not even need apostile for the marriage application (of wife's documents )

US Casa embassy has a list of approved certified translators they will accept 

i only said that most people in my country think apostile and certifying mean the same /My wife tried to explain the difference to my family but without them understanding English and her Dariga poor,  we couldn't get the idea across 

the OP needs to use a name that is on the approved list of civil documents for the different cities in Moroc and she and my aunt had to do the translations while i worked so she looked up this list online 

She looked price for both online and found out the following

 

The important part of this is the cost

it is about 100 dirham ($10 USD) a page for a certified translation

 

 apostile is very expensive

an apostile is done in moroc by the same translators but they charge $75 to $150 for the service to apostile the work plus the per page document fee

 

The exact price for a Moroccan apostille on a Moroccan document for translation to English varies by document type and authority, but you can expect to pay around 150-250 Moroccan Dirhams (MAD) per document for the apostille stamp itself. You will also need to pay for the certified translation, which can be obtained from a certified translator and will likely have separate fees.
